Chicago-based duo X5IGHT has put a hard-hitting, progressive spin on the timeless track “Seek Bromance.” Look no further for your weekend anthem, because this #FREEFRIDAY track will be sure to satisfy your speakers with it’s iconic beats and powerful dynamism.

The heavy-hitting original joint is full of quirky sounds and undeniably manic energy, and is accompanied by a hectic remix from Amsterdam Trap lords YELLOW CLAW and an electro flip from German DJ/producer TAI.

Boots N Pants are back with a Halloween treat sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! The LA duo have flipped Rich Homie Quan’s addicting original into a future g house house record that is bound to be an ultimate DJ weapon for months to come.

Botnek and 3LAU’s collab “Vikings” has been reworked by the Bixel Boys, switching up the once electro track, instead with progressive vibes: driving drums, a smattering of spacey synths, and a sick-ass bassline. Rarely does a remix have such wide-appeal & high-praise from all the top blogs – Dancing Astronaut, Insomniac News, Do Androids Dance, Stoney Roads, Earmilk. #FREELIFE

Known for his unique sound, chart topping remixes, and creating the largest electro party in South Florida DOCO brought us “Spin It Back” with Puerto Rican artist Janpier. This bigroom track featured an epic drop juxtaposed with a melody that instantly transports you to a festival MainStage…. And now it’s been REMIXED!

Check out G-Buck‘s monster rework of DOCO & Janpier‘s “Spin It Back.” This remix is part of the “Spin It Back” remix package coming out next week on iTunes & Beatport. Grab this FREE download and go share it with your friends and show them how much cooler you are than them. #YouAreWelcome

P.S. This new remix from G-Buck may cause soiled undies. You’ve been warned.

Up-and-coming kings of the underground Bixel Boys make their Dim Mak Records debut with an innovative rework of Botnek and 3LAU’s collaboration “Vikings.” The Los Angeles-bred duo has been making major waves on their ascension to the top, touting their flavorful style of classical 90’s elements-meets-deep house vibes across the country with appearances at Electric Daisy Carnival, Splash House, SnowGlobe and HARD Summer. We caught up with Ian and Rob ahead of their Dim Mak release to chat about their history, productions and big plans for the future.

Tell me about how you two met and began collaborating as Bixel Boys.

Ian) We met through a mutual friend and with our powers combined we became CAPTAIN PLAN — I mean Bixel Boys.

You guys are a product of the Los Angeles scene and continue to act as influential tastemakers throughout the city. How has Los Angeles influenced and inspired your music?

Ian) It’s an awesome collection of creatives all congregated in one place, it’s a great incubator for all of us and we love all the support that we get from those around us pursuing similar endeavors

Your musical styles range greatly from deep house and ghetto-tech to hip-hop and underground. How would you categorize your sound?

Rob) I don’t think that there’s just one way to pin-point our sound. It’s a bit of a musical exploration. We made it clear early on that we weren’t necessarily going to decide on a genre before starting any song. I think this keeps our minds fresh and makes producing a little more fun.

After less than two years producing and DJing as the Bixel Boys, you’ve grown from spinning at house parties to performing at festivals like HARD and EDC. What do you make of your meteoric rise to fame?

Ian) “Meteoric rise to fame ” is a WEEEEEEE bit of an overstatement haha we’re not popping bottles with Diddy, eating caviar on yachts in San Tropez or anything. Whatever small steps towards personal success we have made have come from hard work, everything from prepping different sets to every show, late nights in the studio, and hours of designing all play a part to what we do.

Rob) We also have a great team around us which can equate to some of that overnight success, but we still have a long way to go to achieve what we’re actually trying to do.

How do your sets differ when performing at smaller intimate venues versus on festival stages?

Ian) Festivals we like to make as much of a ‘ performance ‘ as we can and really take people on a musical journey, example this year at EDC we played everything from show tunes, disney theme songs, ACDC and tons of other surprises. I think more intimate settings allow us to read the crowd more and play more moody stuff to get people dancing instead of raving

You’ve been commissioned for official remixes of artists such as The Crystal Method, Architecture In Helsinki, Eliza Doolittle, Thomas Newson, Kayper and Kiesza. How do these remixes come together? What do you aim to bring to the table when reworking such well-known talent?

Ian) Sometimes we like a song, sometimes they approach us, its always different. We just want to be able to take the core of those songs and re-vision them thru our creative lens.

Rob) It’s about making sure that the essence of the original work is still apparent while putting the song in a different world. Sometimes it’s easier said than done. We go through a lot of different versions of things we remix before deciding on a direction.

Just this month you remixed Golden Features’ Tell Me featuring Nicole Miller and now you’ve put your spin on Botnek and 3LAU’s “Vikings.” Do you go into the studio with an idea of where you want to take the original tune, or do you let the ideas flow organically?

Ian) For remixes we tend to let the original dictate the direction we’re going to go.

Rob) For sure organically. We are blank slate producers i.e. no previous project copy/pasting. We tend to just start listening to the parts over and over again and solo’ing sections over random loops and samples until something jumps out at us.

Not only are you music makers, but you’ve also entered the world of fashion with your FREELIFE brand. Tell me about how this idea came together and how the unmistakable black jerseys caught fire so quickly.

Ian) We had a concept about viewing our peers and fans and ourselves as a team, and we wanted to create something that you couldn’t just purchase but you had to earn, so we designed the jersey ourselves and began to give it to people we respected, people really liked the design, the message, the fit and it took on a life of it’s own from there.

I’ve heard you’re launching a charitable arm of the FREELIFE brand soon, can you tell us a bit about that?

Ian) All of the pieces are still coming together but we can confirm that we’ll be linking up the Freelife brand with a charity very soon to start to give back, which is something thats always been very important to us.

Ever sit and ‘Wonder‘ what track we were going to give away for #FreeFriday this week? Well, ‘Wonder‘ no more! Up for grabs is a new PeaceTreaty remix of Adventure Club‘s fan favorite “Wonder.” #WONDERful

“PeaceTreaty is the latest contender to rise to the challenge of reinventing “Wonder,” and have chosen to interpose progressive house layers between the original’s piano chimes and the echoing vocals of featured vocalist The Kite String Tangle. Injecting their own dose of bouncing energy to the track, “Wonder” has been reinvented to satisfy dance floor audiences…”
– Dancing Astronaut

Ready for #FreeFriday?

New TAI Club Remix of Felix Cartal’s ‘Ready For Love’ is now ready for your iTunes… Or where ever you save and play your music. Download this masterpiece, play it loud, and make your neighbors jealous of your taste in music.

Already stuffed full of epic talent in the form of Dim Mak boss Steve Aoki, Autoerotique and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, “Feedback” gets the remix treatment from Kill FM breathing new life into it for summer. The Swedish duo put their unique spin on the original, adding new layers of complexity and texture.

It’s Friday and here’s a new remix for you to love!

“As I was remixing Clockwork’s Champion track, I wanted to go outside the norm of a tradition dance track by incorporating some non-conventional sounds, that’s why I turned to a Kontact orchestra library to add some organic instruments to the track. Clockwork mentioned he wanted people to get as original as possible while calling on all genres and all producers. I also kept in mind Dim Mak’s taste in dance music at the same time. Bridging those two gaps is what created my remix. While the original track had no vocals, I had to use the lead synth as my remixing source; I chopped up this lead into a new riff that added excitement to the remix while keeping the core idea of the track at hand. I also added violins, cinematic drum smashes, trap snares, Melbourne bounce bassline with an overall big room house feel to the track to keep things original, fun and fresh!”
– Michael Wayne

Felix Cartal delivered an inspirational, uplifting tune with “Ready For Love” featuring vocalist Chloe Angelides, layering euphoric strength and beauty over Felix’s characteristic big-room sound. The remix package has now arrived, delivering new interpretations of the summery original by a wide variety of talent. The piano-driven, big-room tune is given new life by Chardy (Melbourne), TAI (Germany), Steve James (USA), and Matt Zanardo (Canada), who each give the track their own unique twist.

With a name like “Death Star,” you already know this track is going to be a dramatic force of energy, and it does not disappoint. The pairing of Moby and Darth & Vader create a dark and driving tune, which you can just as easily imagine soundtracking The Empire Strikes Back as you can a dark nightclub.

With over a decade of DJing under their belts, and musical influences that span from Chicago house to old-school hip-hop to techno and everything in between, this inventive house duo are bringing us a new groovy tune in the form of “Cause I Like It.” The track, along with the accompanying remix from Benson, provide the perfect soundtrack for everything from a warehouse in Berlin to a beach on Ibiza.

Congratulations go out to Botnek, as his remix of The Chainsmokers “#SELFIE” takes over the #1 position in our Beatport Top 100.

Less of a remix and more of a rip on the trending track that even made it’s way to American Idol, Botnek’s remix is playful in its reproach. Bless the New York-based Chainsmokers (aka Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall) for having the sense of humor to approve this track, as it’s climbed the top 100 to take over #1 in just over a week.

Okay, so we all partied a little too hard last night ::cough::#NIGHTBASS::cough:: and we’re just getting around to putting up the #FreeFriday for this week. Better late then never, right? We did some digging and found a remix to a Qulinez track that we held back because we didn’t feel the world was ready yet. So we’re giving it to you today. It’s a rough & hard remix from D!RTY AUD!O who just so happens to be dropping his EP “Lifted” next month.

Never want to hear the word “SELFIE” again? Do you want to scream every time you hear “but first…?” Then this Botnek remix of The Chainsmokers‘ “#SELFIE” is just what the doctor ordered. Trust us when we say that this masterfully crafted track provides the perfect retort to the runaway hit, and will leave you completely satisfied.

Justin Martin’s remix of Kenna “Relations” morphs the playful track into a spaced out DEEP HOUSE TUNE that even breaks out a little bit of an Italo disco vibe at times. The result is a journey through the galaxy with the Dirtybird master as your copilot – buckle up and enjoy the ride.

It’s that time of the week again and like we didn’t already give you enough FREE music this week with our Facebook 300k ‘Booties & Mash’ download pack, we wanted to give you one of the remixes from the ‘Bring You To Life (Transcend) Part 2′ package. Oh, and it happens to be the remix from Regoton who was the winner of the WAVO.me & Dancing Astronaut remix contest! Download this, sit back and transcend into the weekend!

Today’s #FreeFriday is a tune with a story… Fefe Dobson created “Legacy” and showed it to Klever and Yelawolf in a cab in New York. Klever asked if he could get the stems, and he set out to create a remix that would resonate within today¹s current state of music. He particularly felt pressure to create something amazing for his friend¹s girlfriend, inspiring him to put in extra effort. After a week or so, Klever presented the finished product to both Fefe and Yelawolf, who both fell in love with it. Then in Toronto, before a show, Yelawolf surprised Klever with his two verses.

Yelawolf goes in on this track, and completes a tune that will definitely amp you up to fuck somebody up.

For this #FreeFriday at Dim Mak, our buds Klever, Yelawolf, and Fefe honor us with this free download, a product of love (Fefe Dobson and Yelawolf are engaged).

Some of that new #FreeFriday action for ya! #WHATITLOOKLIKELil Debbie and Katie Got Bandz deliver a fresh remix of the ‘What It Look Like‘ track from Lil Debbie‘s recent EP ‘California Sweetheart.’ Grab that free download and ‘Get Up On My Level Hoe!‘

Today is Good #FreeFriday, and in honor of the holiday we’re giving away a track that was originally put out on G.O.O.D. Music, because we know you’ve all been on your best behavior.

Just remember to eat your vegetables, iron your shirt, and don’t let grandma hear what you’re listening to.

All great masterminds have a secret weapon up their sleeve, so why shouldn’t you? Beatport named “Wild Out (Ookay Remix)” to their Secret Weapons chart for electro house, so all you kids can wild out in secret. Grab it now from the chart for just $1.99, not even one million dollars (pinky to lip). It doesn’t come with sharks with lasers attached to their frikken heads though… Then again, if the chart is secret weapons and they send it to everybody, is it really a secret anymore? Anyways, check out the full list below.

Will Brennan is usually known as the guy behind the microphone instead of the guy behind the keyboards, but today, he makes his debut as a producer in conjunction with The Ethnikids to remix the Pixies’ classic “Where Is My Mind?”

Keys N Krates has been labeled a “trap” group but this band has talent way beyond making drunk white kids turn up. Drummer Adam Tune, Synth/keyboardist David Matisse and turntableist Jr. Flo are pioneers in blending live performance and electronic dance music. This Canadian trio definitely does not just press buttons and let the lasers distract you from their pre-made set. To see the LIVE talent and creativity for yourself watch these remix performances on their Youtube channel that are better than most songs on Beatport right now.

Aside from performing great music, their SOLOW EP from Dim Mak Records took over the blogosphere with the videos “Treat Me Right” making the Top 10 Vimeo Videos and “Dum Dee Dum” taking #1 on Hypemachine and was nominated for MTV Clubland’s Video Pick of the Year.

Deep house is on the rise and even a label that shows a clear appreciation for high-energy electro such as Dim Mak Records wants to give us a taste. A couple relative newcomers on the US west coast electronic music circuit, Boots N’ Pants have expressed their prowess dabbling in the deep end with their remix of Borgore’s “Wild Out” featuringWaka Flocka Flame and Paige. The LA duo strip out the hip-hop components and festival-electro drop for a classic 4/4 beat with shuffling high-hats and rhythmic tom embellishments. Paige’s sensual voice compliments the verse’s ominous vibe with a couple of Waka’s lines sampled and looped, just until the deep pulsating bass lead hits your eardrum. This seems to be the first of a batch of remixes set to be released on January 28th. (via Dancing Astronaut)

After much consideration of a whopping assortment of multi genres submissions, the winner of the Dancing Astronaut, Dim Mak & WAVO “Bring You To Life (Transcend)” remix competition has been awarded to REGOTON!

Regoton has utilized smart production, an irresistible Melbourne-Bounce lead and great variation that edged out the other contenders. However the competition was so fierce, we felt two other remixes were very close so we have awarded them our Staff Choice winners: Hallvard Vaaland Remix and Inscape Remix, both bringing two unique takes. Hallvard Vaaland creates high energy anthemic vibes that will impress progressive house fans and on the flip side, Inscape takes a direction opposite to many of the other submissions by demonstrating how chill & downtempo influences can be implemented in reworking a track into a wholly different vibe.

Over the past decade, Belgian DJ extraordinaire Coone(aka Koen Bauweraerts) has been building a name for himself in dance music circles as a global ambassador for hardstyle, the bass-heavy, high-BPM genre that’s managed to wallop its way over the Atlantic from Europe. And stateside clubbers have indeed taken notice, with LA-based arbiter of taste Steve Aoki signing Coone to his own Dim Mak label. Hardstyle, it seems, is set for worldwide take-off. Now here’s your chance to make your mark in 2014 by remixing Coone’s hard-storming anthem “150 BPM” from his latest album, Global Dedication. Enter this Play contest before February 3 for your chance to win a Novation Launchkey 49, a Novation Launchpad S, and an official release on Dim Mak Records.

I washed my hair for the first time in a week so we are celebrating with a free track. Everyone at the Dim Mak office was starting to notice, standing far away from me during conversations and pretending not to know me in public. I guess the issue was getting so bad that when I walked in …
